The Discover Whitewater Series (DWS) is set to host their 13th Annual Post-Race Banquet to celebrate their charity partners and to honor their sponsors, volunteers, team leaders, and community members. The Greater Whitewater Committee in partnership with the Discover Whitewater Series will present proceeds and donations to their four local charity partners: Bethel House, University of Whitewater Foundation (Athletics), J-Hawk Aquatic Club, and Whitewater LEADS.
The DWS’s Annual Banquet is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, November 5th at 5:00 p.m. at Willow Brook Golf Course: N9035 Highway 89, Whitewater, WI 53190. The public is more than welcome to attend this banquet to learn about what our sponsors and team leaders do for our race. If you are interested in attending, you must RSVP.

The Executive Board has met and confirmed that they are set to host the 14th Annual Race on September 20th, 2026, at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. They are looking to add two new concepts to next year’s event and are asking for the help of the community.
“We are very hopeful to reinstate the Fit Kid Shuffle,” said GWC President, Jeffery Knight. “It would be free to children under the age of 10 and include first, second, third place trophies, along with medals, for each age group: 4 and under, 5 and 6, 7 and 8, 9 and 10. We’re looking for an organization to manage this event as part of the DWS team.”
Next year’s event will also incorporate a new traveling trophy for 5k teams. The two categories will be teams made up of sponsors/businesses or student organizations that can create groups of four and top three times will solidify their place as top finishers. Whoever wins the traveling trophy will get their company/organization’s name inscribed on it and keep it until the next race.
If you have any interest in help with the Fit Kid Shuffle, the traveling trophy 5k event, or for further details, please contact Jeffery Knight at 920.728.0662 or jpk@knightpublicaffairs.com.
